The Five Tribes Anxious to Prevent the
Contemplated Move.
Special to the Gazette
TAHLKQUAH, 1. T., Jan. 2S.-As the
Kaw Indians have taken notion to sell
half of the country they now occupy, the
Gherokees will offer them a better price
than the government will give for it. This
land lies Immediately south of the Kan
sas line, and is bounded on the west by
the Kansas river. 1t all lies in the Indian
Territory adjoining their land, is the
reason the Cherokees wish to purchase it.,
to the end that they do not want the Ter
ritory line broken, nor do they want white
settlers in any part of the Territory as yet.
A strenuous effort will De made to get the
naWs to reconsider the petition to sell it.
In the event they are in need of the nee
essaries of life, as they put forth as q
main cause in their petition to the gov
erpment to sell, the five tribes will see to
it that they VIII not Resallowed to suffer,
provided they hoad onto their lands-so
say the head men here.

declines TO talk about his marriage by
proxy with Miss VanZsnGt, ard refuses
to be interviewed or even to be seen.
Her father also declines to talk, but does
nor deny the fact of the ceremony. Sher-

pronounced so by competent legal au-

in my Judgment, change the relations OF
the parties. II this action was taken for
the purpose of compelling me to consent
to the visits of Miss VanZandt to the Jail
it Is mistaken course and will not avail.
There is no obligation, even if she were a
lawful wife, to let her visit Spies, who is
my prisoner. The allowing of wives to
visit their imprisoned husbands is mostly
q matter of courtesy"

BELLIGERENT KANUCkS.
Preparations Making Throughout Lower
Canada in Expectation of War.
THE KANUCKS IN ARMS.


BUFFALO, N Y, Feb. 1.-The discus
sion of the retaliation bill by Congress
has apparently stirred up the residents of
the Dominion of Canada. Members Of
the Dufferin Guards of the Eighth regi-
ment, VOLUNTEER military organization
now in the city, regarding the prepare
tions being made throughout Lower Can
ada in expectation of war being declared,
said that few days sgo every pensioEer
of the imperial service were ordered IN
der arms to be ready to move to the
front at moments notice. At Brant-
ford there are loco veterans drilling
daily. At Hamilton there are 800, and at
various places throughout Lower Canada
there are enough men to furnish stand
ing army of 5000 at an hours notice. The
excitement is great throughout allaof
Lower Canada.
The importance of the order to hold
the pensioners ready will be appreciated
when it is known that the order came
from London. The peculiarly exposed
situation of Buffalo has created a great
deal of interest here as to the outcome Of
the fisheries disputes. Among sailors
the feeling is intense, the mary diff
tlculties they have to encoun-
ter on the lakes in dealing with
vessels wrecked on the Canadian shore
making them anxious to aid in bringing
Canada to terms. A trip through the
eastern part Of this city along tn water
fronts shows that strong feeling is
cherished. Many of the veterans are in
readiness to volunteer in case their aid
is necessary, but nothing will he done by
them until it is seen that Ewar cannot he

a Remarkable Appeal.

Nothing more stirring has appeared for
a long time than the appeal that comes
from the inmates of the Tennessee state
prison, at Nashville, in behalf of prohibi-
ton. 1t is signed by 4O1 convcts. begin
ing with the name of C. f. Norton, and
ending with that of Ben Morris, and runs
in part as follows:
1--WE, the inmates of the state peniten-
tiary, showing by observation and con-
WINGED by undeniable facts that liquor is
the cause of all the misery we endure, of
all the hardships and privatiOns we subject
those to dependent upon us. do hereby
most earnestly ask that the voters of this
great state may seriously consider the
question before them and give their aid in
word and deed to the cause of prohibition.
We do not claim that every criminal act
was perpetrated under the influence of
whisky; but we fearlessy assert that three
fOrthS confined in these walls can trace
their downfall directly or indirectly to that
cause
The appeal is given to the public through
the chaplain. n. w. Utley. who certifies
that it was drawn up and signed in the ex-
act form in which it appears by the pris-
Oners themselves 'withour any dictation as
to form or matter" upon his part, ''or the
part of any other man outside of the roll
of cOnvictS themselves.
We know there is always some discount
to be placed on such statements coming
from criminals, or drunkardS, or dead,
beats. 1t is natural for them usually to
eXaggerate the part liquor has played in
their degradation, making it sort of scape-
goat for all their sins and wickedness.
But allowing for all reasonable discount,
this petition remains as one of the most
cogent arguments ever put into form for
the eXtirpaton of the saloon. These
men know their enemy and know
his power. 1t is hardly conceivable that
such an appeal does not come from their
hearts. What a flood of misery is pre-
sented here. flowing through the swinging
doors of the bar-rOom. Poor wrecks upon
the shores OF time. In all the infinite
eternity God has given them one life to
live here upon earth, and only one. and
they have made hideous failure of that.
Why? In great part-yes. in greater part
because of the ''Open gates of hell" kept
open by the license policy of the state, le-
galized by the government, made part and

How Long Since You Have Written
to NTOtlers

Editor Mirror:
While reading in your columns the poem
"'In Memory of My Mother" certain and
different thoughts came to my mind, and
while they are yet fresh will try to give
them to you as they came to me.
How long since the loving mother heart
in the old homestead has been gladdened by
letter from her boy? Can you not pic
ture her in your imagination. as you have
often seen her in your bOyhOOd days. going
quietly from room to room as she cheer
fully performed her household duties?
And how many times. as she is thus busiy
engaged does her heart go out to us each
day, and over and again will she say, Il
wonder why our boy doesn't write?
1t seems so strange that we don't get let
ter from him."
How many times during the long. neg
lectful silence of her absent boy. does she
live through his sickness and death among
strangers? How the mother. heart yearns
to be with him as she thus pictures him.
So unbounded is her love for him she thinks
nothing less than death could cause him to
neglect nef So.
While residing in New York, some ten
years ago, poor woman told me she had
an only son, and he was then five years
away from home. During that time he had
written to her only three letters. Said
she to me: "Oh, the torture that my heart
has endured will never be known. watch
and wait. day by day, for letter from my
boy; but it is all in vain. Every time
heare step in the front yard my heart
leaps into my thu Oat; l think it may be my
boy coming home at last
o. what suspense and trouble of mind
we absent sons could save our loving moth
ers by frequently giving a few moments of
our abundant leisure to write to them-Only
a few minutes to each letter. And what
pleasure the letter would bring to the old
home, and how the mothers heart would
tighten at such testimony of her boys
thOughtfulnesS and love. 1t matters not
though we may be cOnvicts-a mothers
love is never lessend. but rather strength
ened, by her boys mistOrtuneS.
So. if any of us have neglected mother,
let us do so no longer. Though the knowl-
edge OF our misdeedS will bring sorrow to
that mothers heart, it will put an end to
tOrturing suspense which is more difficult to
bear than certainty, though that certainty
be death.
Write to mother. F. II. B.
